(Des Moines, Iowa) -- Pothole season is starting in Iowa.
"We're at that time of year when they start showing up. When you have a deep freeze like we just came through, and then a quick warm up, that will cause the first wave of potholes to show up." Des Moines Public Works Director Jonathan Gano tells WHO Radio News.
His crews patch potholes year-round on 750 miles of the city's busiest roads.
"We run pothole patching crews on the snow route system, that's the roads everyone uses to get around." Gano says.
